< Matthew 22 >

1 And Jesus answering spoke to them again in parables, saying,
Basa ma Yesus olaꞌ no se fai nendiꞌ nekendandaaꞌ nae,
2 The kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who made a wedding feast for his son,
“Lamatualain toꞌu parendan naa, onaꞌ maneꞌ sa tao fefeta kakabꞌiꞌ fee ana toun.
3 and sent his bondmen to call the persons invited to the wedding feast, and they would not come.
Leleꞌ ara sadꞌia rala fefetas ma, ana denu ate nara reu rafadꞌe atahori nene neroloꞌ ra oi, ‘Ima, te fefetas sangga nae mulai ena.’ Te atahori naa ra nda nau rema sa.
4 Again he sent other bondmen, saying, Say to the persons invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatted beasts are killed, and all things ready; come to the wedding feast.
Basa ma, ate ra baliꞌ reu rafadꞌe maneꞌ a. Maneꞌ a rena nala ma ana denu aten laen fai nae, ‘Hei mii mifadꞌe atahori naa ra, fo rema leo, te fefetas nenesadꞌiaꞌ ena. Au tati sapi a ena, ma tunu-nasu ala e maladꞌan seli. Denu se rema raa fefetas leo, huu basaꞌ e nenesadꞌiaꞌ ena.’
5 But they made light of it, and went, one to his own land, and another to his commerce.
Ate naa ra reu rafadꞌe raꞌo naa. Te atahori nene neroloꞌ ra nda nau taoafiꞌ sa. Ruma osi rala reu, ruma reu sia mamana tao ue-osan nara,
6 And the rest, laying hold of his bondmen, ill-treated and slew [them].
ma ruma toꞌu rala maneꞌ a ate nara, de poko-paru se losa ara mate.
7 And [when] the king [heard of it he] was wroth, and having sent his forces, destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
Rena onaꞌ naa ma, maneꞌ a namanasa nala seli. Basa ma, ana denu soldꞌadꞌu nara reu tati risa atahori mana tati risa ate nara. Basa de, soldꞌadꞌu ra hotu-lalangge hendi nusaꞌ naa losa taa no rae a.
8 Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy;
Basa ma, maneꞌ a noꞌe nala ate laen nara de nafadꞌe se nae, “Fefeta kakabꞌiꞌ a nenesadꞌiaꞌ ena, te atahori fo au uroloꞌ ra, nda randaa tungga au fefeta ngga sa.
9 go therefore into the thoroughfares of the highways, and as many as ye shall find invite to the wedding feast.
Ia na, ama mii sia dala rarameꞌ fo mindaa mo sudꞌiꞌ a se, na moꞌe mendi se.’
10 And those bondmen went out into the highways, and brought together all as many as they found, both evil and good; and the wedding feast was furnished with guests.
Basa de, ate naa ra lao reu sia dala rarameꞌ ra. Ara randaa ro atahori hetar mia naa, de ro se risiꞌ fefeta kakabꞌiꞌ a. Hambu atahori maloleꞌ ma atahori nda maloleꞌ ra sa rema tao rasofe mamana fefetas a.
11 And the king, having gone in to see the guests, beheld there a man not clothed with a wedding garment.
Basa ma, maneꞌ a nisi mamana fefetas rala neu de mete rereoꞌ fuiꞌ ra. Ma ana nita atahori esa nda pake buꞌa-baꞌu fefetas sa.
12 And he says to him, [My] friend, how camest thou in here not having on a wedding garment? But he was speechless.
Boe ma maneꞌ a natane nae, ‘Hee, toronooꞌ! saa de misiꞌ mamanaꞌ ia, na nda pake bua-baꞌu fefetas saa?’ Te atahori naa titindindii onaꞌ nggoaꞌ e.
13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
Boe ma maneꞌ a parenda ana mana tungga nara nae, paꞌa atahori ia ei-lima nara, fo toꞌu nggari e dea neu. Hela e nggae ma doidꞌoso sia mamana maꞌahatuꞌ naa.’
14 For many are called ones, but few chosen ones.
Onaꞌ naa boe, Lamatualain narolo atahori hetar, te tengga nala akaꞌ idꞌaꞌ dadꞌi neu Eni atahorin.’
15 Then went the Pharisees and held a council how they might ensnare him in speaking.
Atahori Farisi ra rena rala Yesus olaꞌ naꞌo naa, ma rala haraꞌ fo rae teꞌe-sii ma fua salaꞌ neu E.
16 And they send out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one, for thou regardest not men's person;
Basa ma ara denu ana mana tungga nara reu ro atahori mia Herodes partei politik na, fo reu raselu-bale ro Yesus. Ara koa-boꞌu Yesus rae, “Ama Meser! Hai mihine Amaꞌ ralan ndoos. Amaꞌ nda mana peko-lelekoꞌ ma nda pili-tadꞌa sa. Amaꞌ akaꞌ nanori Lamatualain Hara-liin no matetuꞌ.
17 tell us therefore what thou thinkest: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
De ia na, hai mae mitane dalaꞌ sa. Tungga hita atoran agama Yahudi na, ata musi bae bea neu mana parenda Roma manen, do afiꞌ?”
18 But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said, Why tempt ye me, hypocrites?
Te Yesus nahine ara rae teꞌe-sii E, fo Ana olaꞌ labꞌan mana parenda Roma. Boe ma Ana nataa nae, “Memaꞌ hei atahori mana dea-ralaꞌ! Taꞌo bee de hei mae teꞌe-sii Au mendiꞌ soꞌal naa?
19 Shew me the money of the tribute. And they presented to him a denarius.
Mitudꞌu sobꞌa Au doi fulaꞌ sa fo atahori bae rendiꞌ neu bea!” Boe ma ara ratudꞌu doi fulaꞌ neu E.
20 And he says to them, Whose [is] this image and superscription?
Basa ma, Ana natane se nae, “Ia seka mata-aon ia? Ma ia seka naran ia?”
21 They say to him, Caesar's. Then he says to them, Pay then what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God.
Ara rataa rae, “Naa keser, mana parenda Roma mane monaen.” Boe ma Yesus nafadꞌe se nae, “Naa! Mete ma taꞌo naa, hei fee neu mana parenda, saa fo mana parenda hak na. Ma fee neu Lamatualain saa fo Lamatualain hak na.”
22 And when they heard [him], they wondered, and left him, and went away.
Rena Ana nataa naꞌo naa, ma basa se titindindii, huu Ana olaꞌ naa ndaa na. Naa de ara nda teꞌe-sii rala E sa. Boe ma ara lao hela E.
23 On that day came to him Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him,
Sia naa hambu atahori mia partei Saduki boe. Atahori mia partei Saduki ia, nanori nae, atahori mates ra nda rasodꞌa baliꞌ sa. Faiꞌ naa, ara rae sangga dalaꞌ fo teꞌe-sii Yesus. Naeni de ara rema raselu-bale ro E rae,
24 saying, Teacher, Moses said, If any one die, not having children, his brother shall marry his wife and shall raise up seed to his brother.
“Ama Meser! Baꞌi Musa suraꞌ hela fee hai, adat ia, nae: mete ma touꞌ esa mate hela saon, te nda ma anaꞌ sa, na, touꞌ naa odꞌin musi sao nala ina falu naa, naa fo ana bonggi fee aꞌan mana mateꞌ a tititi-nonosiꞌ.
25 Now there were with us seven brethren; and the first having married died, and not having seed, left his wife to his brother.
Memaꞌ, feꞌesaꞌan baꞌi Musa nanori taꞌo naa, te ia na hai mae mitane taꞌo ia: hambu touꞌ hitu odꞌi-aꞌa bonggiꞌ. Uluꞌ ka sao, te mate, nda ma anaꞌ sa. Boe ma odꞌin mana tungga e, sao nala ina falu naa.
26 In like manner also the second and the third, unto the seven.
Nda dooꞌ sa ma ana mate fai, ma nda ma anaꞌ sa. Onaꞌ naa boe odꞌin ka telun, ana sao nala ina falu naa, te basa ma mate fai, te nda ma anaꞌ sa. Onaꞌ naa rakandondooꞌ a losa odꞌin muriꞌ a mate, nda lao hela anaꞌ sa.
27 And last of all the woman also died.
Basa ma, ina falu a mate.
28 In the resurrection therefore of which of the seven shall she be wife, for all had her?
Naa! Hai mae mitane taꞌo ia: Inaꞌ naa sao nala touꞌ hitu ena. Mete ma neu mateteꞌen, Lamatuaꞌ nafefela baliꞌ atahori mana mateꞌ ra na, inaꞌ ia dadꞌi touꞌ bee ka saon?”
29 And Jesus answering said to them, Ye err, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God.
Basa ma, Yesus nataa nae, “Mete ma hei mitane taꞌo naa, na, hei sala naeꞌ ena ma! Huu hei nda mihine Lamatualain Susuran liin sa. Ma nda mihine koasa manaselin sa!
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as angels of God in heaven.
Matetun, taꞌo ia. Neꞌo, mete ma Lamatualain nafefela baliꞌ atahori mana mateꞌ ra, ara esa nda sao esa sa ena, onaꞌ ate nara mana sia sorga ra.
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,
Boe ma Au ae olaꞌ soꞌal atahori mana mateꞌ ra rasodꞌa baliꞌ, do hokoꞌ. Sia baꞌi Musa susuran ra nenedꞌuiꞌ oi hau huu anaꞌ nene tunu-hotuꞌ te nda kadꞌe hendi e sa. Mia dudꞌuit naa, hita tahine tae, atahori mana mateꞌ ra bisa rasodꞌa baliꞌ boe. Huu Lamatualain nafadꞌe baꞌi Musa mia naa nae,
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not God of [the] dead, but of [the] living.
‘Au ia, bei-baꞌi mara Lamatualain na. Naeni baꞌi Abraham, baꞌi Isak, ma baꞌi Yakob. Basa se beꞌutee neu Au rakandoo losa ia nema.’ Naa! Hita tahine tae, leleꞌ Lamatuaꞌ olaꞌ naꞌo naa, te basa baꞌiꞌ naa ra mate se dooꞌ ena. Huu Lamatualain nae Eni feꞌe dadꞌi nakandoo sira Lamatuan. Naeni de ata tahine tae, ao samana nara rasodꞌa rakandoo, mae ara mate dooꞌ ena. De mae atahori mate o, ana nasodꞌa baliꞌ. Huu akaꞌ atahori masodꞌaꞌ beꞌutee neu Lamatualain, nda atahori mates ra sa to?!”
33 And when the crowds heard [it] they were astonished at his doctrine.
Rena Yesus nanori naꞌo naa, ma atahori Saduki ra nda ritaꞌ rae bale saa sa ena boe. Te atahori hetar naa ra titindindii de olaꞌ rae, “Awii! Atahori ia nenorin manaseliꞌ tebꞌe, o!”
34 But the Pharisees, having heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, were gathered together.
Leleꞌ atahori Farisi ra rena rae, Yesus nasenggiꞌ atahori Saduki ra, ma ara raꞌabꞌue reu esa de rae ratane rasafafali E.
35 And one of them, a lawyer, demanded, tempting him, and saying,
Sira mana mahine agaman esa nae teꞌe-sii sobꞌa Yesus nae,
36 Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?
“Ama Meser! Au ae utane taꞌo ia: hita adat na hohoro-lalanen, no agama parendan ra, hetar. Mia basa parendaꞌ fo mana mia baꞌi Musa naa, bee ka manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ?”
37 And he said to him, Thou shalt love [the] Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy understanding.
Boe ma Ana nataa nae, “Parendaꞌ fo manaseliꞌ sia Lamatualain Susura Meumaren nae, taꞌo ia: ‘Lamatualain naa, hei Lamatuam. De ama musi sue lenaꞌ e mia basaꞌ e. Huu naa, hei musi hii E mikindooꞌ a, ma mihine E, ma manggate tao ues tungga Hihii-nanaun.’
38 This is [the] great and first commandment.
Parendaꞌ naa, pantin ma manaseliꞌ!
39 And [the] second is like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Boe ma parendaꞌ ka ruan, naꞌo ia: Musi sue atahori laen ra, onaꞌ ho sue aom boe.’
40 On these two commandments the whole law and the prophets hang.
Parendaꞌ rua ra ia ra, naeni huuꞌ mia basa baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalanen no Lamatualain mana dui-bꞌengga nara nenorin. Neꞌo atahori nda tungga parendaꞌ laen ra sa, mete ma ana nda feꞌe tungga naꞌahuluꞌ parendaꞌ karuaꞌ ia ra sa.”
41 And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus demanded of them,
Leleꞌ atahori Farisi ra feꞌe raꞌabꞌue sia naa, ma Yesus natane baliꞌ se nae,
42 saying, What think ye concerning the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, David's.
“Mia lele uluꞌ a Lamatualain helu haitua Kristus fo fee masoi-masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori nara. De tungga hei dudꞌuꞌa mara, Kristus naa, seka tititi-nonosin?” Boe ma ara rataa rae, “Eni, mane Daud tititi-nonosin.”
43 He says to them, How then does David in Spirit call him Lord, saying,
Yesus olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Mete ma taꞌo naa, naa, taꞌo bee de Lamatualain Dula-dale Meumaren nafadꞌe neu mane Daud fo noꞌe Kristus nae, ‘Lamatua’? Te Daud suraꞌ ena nae,
44 The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand until I put thine enemies under thy feet?
‘Lamatualain nafadꞌe au Lamatua ngga ena nae, “Uma fo endoꞌ sia bobꞌoa ona ngga, sia mamana nene fee hadꞌa-hormat ia. Huu dei fo Au tao musu mara, losa ara raloe ao nara neu nggo.’”
45 If therefore David call him Lord, how is he his son?
Naa! Mia susura naa, hita tahine tae, mane Daud o noꞌe Kristus nae, ‘Lamatuaꞌ’. Dadꞌi mete ma atahori rae Kristus naa, akaꞌ mane Daud tititi-nonosin, naa feꞌe nda dai sa! Huu Eni o Mane Daud Lamatuan boe!”
46 And no one was able to answer him a word, nor did any one dare from that day to question him any more.
Rena Yesus ola naꞌo naa ma, atahori Farisi ra hie-hie reuꞌ ena, nda hambu atahori esa saa sa boe bisa nataa nasafali Yesus sa ena. Naa de eniꞌ a mia faiꞌ naa ma, ara ramatau ratane ena, ma nda rambarani sobꞌa teꞌe-sii E sa ena.
